U.S. Sen.-elect Scott Brown coming to Chicopee as part of thank-you tour of Massachusetts

Scott P. BrownBOSTON – U.S. Sen.-elect Scott P. Brown plans to launch a tour to thank voters with a stop in Chicopee on Friday.
Over three days, Brown, 50, will make six stops across the state to thank people for his stunning victory in the Jan. 19 election to fill the seat of the late Edward M. Kennedy.
Brown will stop at noon on Friday at the Hu Ke Lau restaurant, 705 Memorial Dr. in Chicopee. The public is invited to attend the event, the only one in Western Massachusetts on the tour.
In the election, Brown won several Democratic strongholds including Chicopee, Lowell and Quincy. Overall, he took 52 percent of the vote to 47 percent for Democrat Martha M. Coakley.
“We won this election thanks to the grassroots support of the people, and I want to personally show how much I appreciate that support and tell them that I will always strive to be an independent voice in Washington,” Brown said. “I’m looking forward to seeing some familiar faces from the campaign trail, but I hope to see lots of new faces as well because I don’t just want to be the senator of those who supported me. I want to be the senator for all of the people of Massachusetts.”
